Mixed Emotions

'Mixed Emotions' Chapter 19:

Dave POV:
I had just finished in the bath when I heard my bell ring. I sighed to myself while drying myself with the towel, wrapping it around my waist and heading downstairs. I looked through the hole seeing it was Linda and opened it. "What's up" I asked her as she stepped inside my house with a bag in her hand. I closed the door behind her and locked it while looking at her. I didn't look at her face properly before, but now that I've taken a good look at her face, she looked like she's been crying for days. Her eyes were puffy and swollen and looked quite red, she had no make up on and I saw the tiredness in her eyes. She looked at me, bursting into tears.

"Argh Linda" I said while walking towards her bringing her into a hug as I comforted her. She dropped her bag on the floor and hugged me back tightly, crying into my bare chest "What's up L?" I asked while still hugging her, rubbing her back trying to stop her from crying. She started sniffing as she looked up at me and wiped her eyes and her nose. "It's true Dave." She said to me with her head down still sniffing. "What happened?" I asked her as I walked to the stairs sitting on the 5th step. "I saw the messages Da- Dave, they were flirting with each other I saw- I saw the- the messages on Kiki's phone" she said to me between sobs. I ran my hand down my face as I sighed.

"Look L i'm sorry about this, this is some bullshit you shouldn't be crying over. You gotta talk to Chris and Kiki." I told her. She wiped her tears that were falling from her eyes, "I need some time to myself Dave, I'm going to stay at a hotel for a couple of weeks I need to clear my head first before I can confront them both" she explained to me. I nodded my head "I understand that's fine." I said to her "Where are you staying?" I asked her. Getting up from the steps as I watched her pick up her bag that was on the floor. "I don't know Dave," she sighed while rubbing her head "I'll let you know the information but please don't tell them ok?" She said to me, walking towards the front door.

"Yeah that's cool" I said to her as I licked my lips, "Get there safe alright? Call or text me if anything" I said to her giving her a half hug. She gave me a half hug and looked up at me, I smiled at her and was about to open my front door for her to leave but she placed her hand on mine, stopping me and leaned in to kiss me.

"Woah Linda what you doing" I asked her in shock as I stepped back. She shook her head running her hand down her face as she looked at me "I- I'm so sorry Dave I don't know what's come over me I didn't mean it" she said to me as I shook my head looking down "I think you should leave now yeah?" As I opened the door for her to leave. She walked out of my house heading towards her car and looked back at me before getting in her car I looked at her and closed my front door sighing as I walked upstairs to get dressed.

Linda POV:
I pulled up to The Hilton Hotel and got out of my car slamming the door and walking over to the passenger seat opening it and took out my travel bag. I hit the locks to my car locking it and walked to the Entrance of the hotel making my way to the reception I smiled at the lady at the desk as she smiled at me "Hello, good afternoon and welcome to the Hilton Hotel, how can I help you today?" the lady said to me. I glanced at her name tag and saw her name was Jessica. I looked back at her and smiled "Hello Jessica, good afternoon I would like to book one double room for a 6 weeks stay please" I said to Jessica. She nodded as she looked at her computer screen and started typing "We have one double room available on the 6th floor would that be ok for you?" Jessica asked me with a smile on her face, I nodded my head, "Yes that's ok for me thank you" I told her as she typed something on the computer and clicked on the mouse, "Alright, Do you have proof of ID" Jessica asked me, I opened my bag that was on my shoulder and fiddled inside the bag looking for my passport as I found it at the bottom of my bag and grabbed it taking it out of the bag and giving it to Jessica.
